Hello,

When I started my computer today, my gnome desktop icons had disappeared. As far as I can recall, I hadn't changed any settings. When I right click on the desktop, the context menu doesn't appear either. But the desktop wallpaper remains intact. I can see the files on Desktop from nautilus though. This is happening only for 1 user. All other users are fine.

How can I resolve this?

As you didn't get a response, check the /tmp directory and remove any files associated with our account. I have had this happen from time to time. Usually caused in association with switch user.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the reply.

I did sort it out with the help of kind Fedorans at #fedora on Freenode. I copied all files from .gnom2 directory of another user on the system and changed the ownership. Everything worked well.
